Why Nintendo should abandon Miiverse and integrate Twitter, Facebook and Vine immediately

thenextweb writes:

What the Wii U needs is some hype. Some excitement. Players sharing their experiences on Facebook, Twitter, Vine and any other number of social networks to show the rest of the world what they’re missing out on.

What it doesn’t need, at least right now, is Miiverse.

I disagree. The one thing Miiverse has going for it is it's a gaming-centric social hub. Once you start mixing it in with Youtube, facebook, Twitter, Vine, etc it all gets lost in the shuffle.

Granted, Miiverse has its own flaws, but I don't think Nintendo needs to combine it with other services.

Would be nice if Youtube worked on the 3DS tho.

-Mika-3987d ago

Why would you want to watch youtube on the 3ds? The screen resolution is bad. I rather use my phone.

ChickeyCantor3987d ago

FFS Mika,

Always something to complain about?

-Mika-: "I rather use my phone"

@Mika

if he wants to watch it on the 3ds then let him and just zip it and quit raining on parades and being a debbie downer at the same time

grimmweisse3987d ago

@mika if you are going to be a dick about it, you don't do yourself justice, watching YouTube on a small screen device then saying rather go watch it on another small screen device. You really are a certain kind of special!

agreed, the last thing i want to see on my feed is how much goombas my friends stomped on....

BlackWolf3987d ago

Nah. Miiverse is a completely different social hub on its own, and I think it must stay.

Shnazzyone3987d ago

it's awesome for monster hunter... forget google. Just ask miiverse where to get a material and 1 minute later you know exactly how. It's a neat community. I don't see anything wrong with it.

phantomexe3987d ago

it's a nice gamer hub. I was kind of hopeing the ps4 would do something like it. I don't want my tropies spaming facebook. Not everones a gamer on facebook as well and playing the same games. miverse works well.

elhebbo163987d ago

I think the miiverse is cool, and its a part of what makes the wiiu.

Myst3987d ago

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Online is the New Miiverse

With its new ways of both creating and sharing user-made content, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has become the unexpected successor to Nintendo’s beautiful disaster of a social media experiment Miiverse.

Miiverse was insanity, and it was hilarious. It had a super strange community, there’s a bunch of YouTube videos about it.
I have smash ultimate, but haven’t checked out the new update. I’ll for sure take a look.

Snookies121832d ago (Edited 1832d ago )

I'm interested to check it out as well. Haven't played Smash in a while now... I think it was my issues with having multiple people play at once. The controller drifting and input lag was terrible. Not sure if they fixed that yet, but it was a pain to play when I had 3-4 friends on at the same time.

Gemmol1831d ago

Send your switch in not everyone have that issue, only one that listed that others experience is drifting issue but input lag and playing with 4 people do not have any issues

A Miiverse Eulogy: So Long to the First True Social Video Game Platform

The Miiverse gave myself, and so many others, a platform unlike any console had ever seen before. For once, our reactions to games, both about them generally and in the moment-to-moment, were given life in the games themselves. The Miiverse's concept was novel, fresh, new. It felt like the first true social video game platform. And it's a shame that it was for a console that hardly anyone actually played.
